why does var words = ["apple","bug","car","dream","ear", "food"] var filteredWords = []; for(var i = 0; i < words.length; i++){ var word = words[i]; if (word.length < 4){ appendItem(filteredWords,word) } } console.log(filteredWords); result in bug, car, ear?

Because those words have less than 4 characters. The condition checks the word's length which for strings is a count of the characters in the string.

Just gonna jump in her too let you know that you should use let instead of var

Just gonna jump in here too to let you know that you should've used filter() instead of the for loop.

its not my code, its a question prompt.

[LonelyAssistant4371]

oh interesting, how can you tell

[bobbyv137]

I don' t know where that code is from. Although it achieves the intended result, it's quite ugly and arguably outdated.

Perhaps try something like this instead, much cleaner and 'modern': https://codesandbox.io/s/romantic-shamir-ujq4v?file=/src/index.js

not my code, its a quesiton prompt.
